Mkay. Let's see here. In reality, it'd be pretty hard to configure the computer's camera AND a remote desktop environment to always be on and feeding back remotely to you (like said above). A more realistic approach would be to set up an actual surveillance camera when wanting to do surveillance things. You could set up a surveillance camera and feed it back wirelessly or to a local drive. Wanna be James Bond style? Get one small enough and physically mod the computer to be able to hide the tiny camera inside of. Put it in a non-conspicuous place and retrieve the feed later. You can make a nice little project out of this shit.
